Almost 5 inches , enough already !

8.5+ here might get some more the most rain in a long time should increase the rat populations here they will be all over in a few years then gone a few years after that it’s a ongoing cycle.

Lol.......your pictures remind me of a time a few years ago. Was driving when a quick HUGE rainfall started. It was just nuts , even with the wipers on full speed , your visibility was 20 feet at best. Pulled into a hardware store parking lot to wait it out a bit. The rain let up in about 10 minutes.

The hardware store had a row of wheelbarrows for sale up by the road. They all had 2"-3" of water in them. In just 10 minutes.

I use a cut plastic barrel.
